Lawyers to Jacko: You Never Paid Us Backo

Posted Aug 14th 2007 6:29PM by TMZ Staff

Jacko Another batch of Michael Jackson's former lawyers claims the Gloved One screwed them out of dough. Who doesn't Jacko owe money to these days?!

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the King of Pop is accused of stiffing celebrity super-lawyers Lavely & Singer out of $113,750 in legal fees. According to the documents, the lawyers set up a payment plan for the singer to pay off his $180,000 debt, but Jackson never ponied up the final installment.

It's the second time this year that a team of Jackson's former lawyers has accused him of skipping a bill. As TMZ first reported, a Delaware-based law firm sued Jacko in June, claiming he never forked over $109,994.48 he allegedly owed them for acting as "general counsel" in a case against a concert promoter who accused the singer of backing out of two New Year's Eve concerts in 2000.

A rep for Jacko was not available for comment.

6. This FREAK is going down. When the "super rich" don't pay their bills, even to their lawyers, it means they don't have money. Instead of sleeping with little boys or being the worlds most strange wierdo, Wacko Jacko should have been out there making money. He's so bizarre now that "wonderland" is the place he lives in, in his mind.

What's really funny is Paul McCartney will probably end up buying the beatles portfolio of songs at a substantially reduced price than he would have originally paid, because of Wacko Jacko's desperate need for funds...
